I am heart broken, how could I ever liked and supported an anti-semite? I thought he was a Youtube's sweetheart, when he appeared to be a Nazi. I thought his jokes were edgy, until J. Rowling told me that they're not. I even made a game about him once, and now I wish to undo it.
Seriously though, the title is a clickbait. I've been wondering why all of this crap is falling on Felix, it seems so unreasonable that a group of people want to assassinate his character, while Felix has never took any political or ideological sides besides the common decency and some South Park style humor. And I think that all this is happening because mass media is jelly.
Pewdiepie is a self-made character, without a big corporation and production team behind him. He reaches to more audience than the most popular media outlets out there. That makes his more influential than the "people in power" within the media group. He is potentially dangerous, because he is not being forced to go through the censorship (besides the very general on on Youtube). When Pewdiepie started criticizing the media more, he became more dangerous. The media can work together for years to shape an ideological thinking of the crowd, but if Pewdiepie once will decide to speak to his audience contradicting the propaganda, their work will go to waste. Of course that applies not only to Pewdiepie, but to other self-made internet personalities too.
And so they take precautions. They know that assassination of the character would be impossible if Pewdiepie and them would be in an actual argument already, so they act now. But it will not work, because that's not how internet works. The more they pull the strings, the more they fuck themselves over.
And one of the reasons why Pewdiepie has such an overwhelming following compared to corporate media groups is because he never pushes his ideology or tries manipulate opinions.
Cheers guys
